What is West Coast Swing?
West coast is a modern swing dance that derives from Lindy Hop and Hustle. It is commonly danced to Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, and Jazz. See the following video a great summary. https://youtu.be/v4fRV0aG3lc
Do you offer beginner lessons?
Yes, beginners are welcome. No experience is required.
Do I need a partner?
Excellent Question! But no, Dance partners are not required for attending our events.
Do I need special shoes?
Many dancers wear shoes with velvet or suede bottoms, but these are not mandatory. We recommend flat shoes such as ballet flats, loafers, or sneakers with loose grip bottoms, closed backs, and laces. Though, on rainy or snowy days, we do ask that you bring a separate, clean pair of shoes to keep our dance floor dry & salt-free.
Is it family-friendly event?
Minors (14+ recommended) must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older and the legal guardian must register on behalf of the minor before participating. We do our best to limit explicit music, but we cannot guarantee that nothing will slip past. If you are okay with bringing, and accompanying, the minor, we are would love to have you both join us!
Where do I enter?
The doors to the building are marked with various numbers. “Door 1” is the proper entrance to enter. Look for an A-frame Sign just outside the door to help find the correct door.
Where do I park?
The Center has two dedicated lots accessed from Market street and from the alley, as well as street parking. All are free of charge to our guests. Note: On First Fridays during the Summer months, parking can be more difficult do to local events. Additional parking may be available on the street a few blocks away if the mentioned lots are full.
Is it handicap accessible?
Yes! Notify us in advance to open a handicap door to the building, accessed from the alley parking lot and we would be glad to help you!
